Alpha School is redefining early childhood education through a model that blends personalized learning with innovative technology. This role moves beyond traditional teaching—you will serve as a learning coach for Kindergarten through 2nd-grade students, guiding them to explore their educational journeys with curiosity and confidence.

Our approach centers on the 2-Hour Learning program, which uses AI-driven adaptive technology to customize education for each child. Students engage with advanced learning software while receiving direct, hands-on instruction in reading and writing from educators trained in evidence-based methodologies. This combination ensures that young learners grow academically, socially, and emotionally with your support.

Alpha offers competitive pay, comprehensive benefits, and meaningful opportunities for professional development in a technology-enhanced educational setting. If you are committed to advancing the future of education and skilled at connecting with young children, this team is where you belong.

What you will be doing

  • Guiding students to establish and reach personal learning objectives, supporting their development as independent learners.
  • Delivering focused instruction in foundational literacy and social-emotional competencies, working alongside Reading Specialists.
  • Building a classroom culture that promotes curiosity and perseverance through engaging, hands-on activities.
  • Leveraging AI-driven educational tools to improve learning outcomes and prepare students for a technology-integrated future.
  • Working alongside educators and counselors to customize instruction based on each student's learning preferences and developmental needs.

What you will NOT be doing

🚫 Teaching exclusively through conventional methods without incorporating modern educational technology.

🚫 Applying uniform instructional strategies—this environment values and supports personalized learning for every child.

🚫 Prioritizing academic content at the expense of students' social and emotional growth.

Key responsibilities

💡 Lead the cultivation of independent learning habits and essential life skills for Kindergarten through 2nd-grade students, preparing them for both academic achievement and personal development.
